Big payout at the cost of your self-esteem
Pros
A possibly big payout if Antrophic or OpenAI don’t get serious about legal research and bulk document editing and analysis, and openness to use AI tools to automate the boring tasks of the job.
Cons
The culture rewards conformity to a few people’s preferences. If you genuinely care about user-centred work or collaborating with someone else to actually solve a problem, expect that to get sidelined until you eventually stop bothering. The whole company narrative is IPO-driven. The leads seems far more interested in projecting influence than developing the people around them. Feedback flows one way, they can be as blunt as they like, but push back and you’ll be pulled aside for a chat. Lastly, 2-3 hours of overtime daily plus weekends quietly tanks your actual hourly rate.
